Celebrating Mother’s Day“If love is as sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love.”~Stevie Wonder

Mother’s Day is dear to the hearts of many. It’s a time to recognize the contributions made by those who care for and supportchildren. The act of mothering can be defined in terms of not just someone who gives birth to a child but also as someonewho helps raise a child even when not their own. Someone who provides a child with love and affection. Someone whoprotects, cares for, guides, and nurtures a child. Mothers come in all forms and from all paths of life. Let us take a moment tothank and celebrate those who have mothered us into becoming the people we are today. And, for all the mothers out there,take a bow because you are very, very special.

母親節“樂觀的人是春天的人格化。” ~ Stevie Wonder

母親節對許多人的心靈至關重要。現在是時候承認照顧和支持兒童的人所做的貢獻。母親

行為不僅可以定義為生孩子的人，而且可以定義為即使不是自己的孩子也可以撫養孩子的人。為孩子提供愛與關愛的人

。保護，照顧，引導和撫養孩子的人。母親有各種形式。讓我們花一點時間感謝和慶祝那些使我們成為今天的人們的母

親。而且，對於所有在那裡的母親，我們非常感謝

어머니 날 (마더스 데이)“낙관주의자는 봄의 인간화이다” 수잔 비소네트

~ Stevie Wonder

5월 둘째 일요일은 어머니의 날입니다. 이 날은 자녀들이 부모나 자신의 삶에서 부모같은 역 을 해 온 누군가에게 그들

의 존재에 얼마나 감사하는지를 보다 구체적으로 표하는 날 입니다.미국에서 부모를 공식적으로 기리는 날이 제정 됬 던 이유는 아나 자비스라는 한 딸의 끈기와 사랑 덕분이 였습니다. 약19세기 경, 아나의 어머니는 목사 였던 남편을 따라 여러 주를 돌아 다니며 가족들의 안위를 살피고 가정을 지키는 든든

한 버팀목이였는데, 아나는 그런 어머니를 기리고자 자신이 다녔던 교회의 목사에게 어머니를 추모하는 설교를 부탁했

습니다. 이에 목사는 흔쾌히 그녀의 어머니를 포함한 세상의 모든 어머니를 기리는 특별 예배를 올렸고, 이 것을 계기로

여러 지역에서 어머니의 날을 기리게 됬습니다. 한국과 마찬가지로 미국 또 한 어버이 날의 공식 꽃은 붉은 카네이션이

고, 부모님이 고인이 되셨을 경우, 흰 카네이션을 드린다고 합니다. 코로나로 힘드실 세상의 모든 어머니 아버지, 이번

달 만큼은 우리 모두 사랑하고 감사하는 달이 되길 기원합니다.

Día de la Madre"Un optimista es la personificación humana de la primavera". ~ Stevie Wonder

El día de la madre es querido para los corazones de muchos. Es tiempo de reconocer las contribuciones hechas por aquellosque cuidan y apoyan a los niños. El acto de maternidad puede definirse en términos no solo de alguien que da a luz a unhijo, sino también de alguien que ayuda a criar a un hijo, incluso cuando no es suyo. Alguien que brinda amor y afecto a unniño. Alguien que protege, cuida, guía y cuida a un niño. Las madres vienen en todas las formas y de todos los caminos de lavida. Tomemos un momento para agradecer y celebrar a quienes nos han motivado a convertirnos en las personas quesomos hoy. Y, para todas las madres por ahí, haz una reverencia porque eres muy, muy especial.

Tribute to Motherby John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

A picture memory brings to me;I look across the years and seeMyself beside my mother’s knee.I feel her gentle hand restrainMy selfish moods, and know againA child’s blind sense of wrong and pain.But wiser now a man gray grown,My childhood’s needs are better known.My mother’s chastening love I own.

陣亡將士紀念日是為了紀念在其國家服兵役期間喪生的男女。紀念日的目的是紀念為自己

的國家做出最終犧牲的退伍軍人。我們花時間記住那些失去生命而無法回家的人，反思他

們的服務以及為什麼我們擁有今天享受的奢華和自由。我們可能會考慮如何才能支持和維

護他們悲傷的家人和被遺棄的親人。

流行是紀念日的象徵

在飽受戰爭war的歐洲戰場上，常見的紅色野罌粟（Papaver rhoeas）是最早出現的植物之一。它的種子散落在風中，埋在地下，僅在地面受到干擾時才發芽（例如第一次世界大戰

期間）。加拿大士兵和醫師約翰·麥克萊（John McCrae）親眼目睹了這場戰爭。 1915年，他受到鼓舞，寫了現在著名的詩《在法蘭德斯的田野》。今天，罌粟不僅象徵著生命的喪

失，而且象徵著恢復和新生命。特別是支持在戰爭中倖存下來的軍人；然後在結束之後很

長時間遭受了身心傷害。

미국의현충일 (메모리얼데이)은자국의군복무중사망한여성/남성군인을기리는날입니다. 다시말해, 현충일의목적은자신의나라를위해목숨바쳐본인을희생시킨참전용사들을애도하고감사를표하는날인것입니다. 우리는그들을기억해야만하며, 우리가누리는모든것들의바탕에는이들의희생이있었음을분명히알아야합니다.

현충일의상징이된양귀비 (파피꽃)제 1차세계전쟁으로폐허가된유럽의전장에서가장먼저핀꽃이양귀비 (파피꽃) 이라고합니다. 그씨앗이바람에흩어져땅에잠들며치열하게나라를위해싸우던이들을기리고애도하듯, 홀연히발아한꽃이지금은현충일의상징이되었습니다. 캐나다의군인이자의사인존맥크래 (John McCrae)는벨기에전장에서핀양귀비를보고감명하여지금까지도유명한시, “플랑드르필드에서”를그자리에서쓸만큼양귀비가뜻하는의미는큽니다. 물론전쟁의폐허와슬픔을뜻할수도있지만, 많은이들은보다긍정적으로이꽃을받아드리고있습니다. 바로전쟁의종식, 그에따른회복과새로운삶과같은상징이말입니다.

Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who died while in the military service of their country. In otherwords, the purpose of Memorial Day is to memorialize the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.We spend time remembering those who lost their lives and could not come home, reflecting on their service and whywe have the luxury and freedom that we enjoy today. We might consider how we can support and safeguard theirgrieving families and loved ones who are left behind.

The Poppy is a Symbol of Memorial DayIn the war-torn battlefields of Europe, the common red field poppy (Papaver rhoeas) was one of the first plants toreappear. Its seeds scattered in the wind and sat dormant in the ground, only germinating when the ground wasdisturbed—as it was by the very brutal fighting of World War 1. John McCrae, a Canadian soldier and physician, witnessedthe war first hand and was inspired to write the now-famous poem “In Flanders Fields” in 1915. (See below for thepoem.) He saw the poppies scattered throughout the battlefield surrounding his artillery position in Belgium. Today,poppies are not only a symbol of loss of life, but also of recovery and new life, especially in support of the servicemenwho survived the war but suffered from physical and psychological injuries long after it ended.

Memorial Day conmemora a los hombres y mujeres que murieron mientras estaban en el servicio militar de su país. En otraspalabras, el propósito de Memorial Day es conmemorar a los veteranos que hicieron el último sacrificio por su país. Pasamostiempo recordando a aquellos que perdieron la vida y no pudieron volver a casa, reflexionando sobre su servicio y por quétenemos el lujo y la libertad que disfrutamos hoy. Podríamos considerar cómo podemos apoyar y salvaguardar a sus afligidosfamiliares y seres queridos que se quedan atrás.

LA AMAPOLA UN SÍMBOLO DEL DÍA MEMORIALEn los campos de batalla de Europa devastados por la guerra, la amapola roja común (Papaver rhoeas) fue una de lasprimeras plantas en reaparecer. Sus semillas se dispersaron en el viento y permanecieron inactivas en el suelo, sologerminaron cuando el suelo estaba perturbado, como lo fue por la brutal lucha de la Primera Guerra Mundial. John McCrae,un soldado y médico canadiense, presenció la guerra de primera mano y se inspiró para escribir el poema ahora famoso "InFlanders Fields" en 1915. (Vea el poema a continuación.) Vio a las amapolas esparcidas por el campo de batalla querodeaba su campo de batalla. posición de artillería en Bélgica. Hoy en día, las amapolas no solo son un símbolo de pérdidade vidas, sino también de recuperación y nueva vida, especialmente en apoyo de los militares que sobrevivieron a la guerrapero sufrieron lesiones físicas y psicológicas mucho después de que terminó.
